Something yummy for you...
from Loft Life Magazine
"Charoonkit Thahong’s New York loft mixes Hollywood regency with mid-century modern overtones to create a space that celebrates good design. Some gems include the 1969 VP Globe lamp by Verner Panton, the Fortuny Moda lamp, the Knoll Tulip armless chairs and the oh-so-fun black Victorian love-seat. Thahong, an art director for R/GA, has managed to infuse warmth into the otherwise over-sized, industrial space (located in Hell’s Kitchen) adding subtle touches of glamour to finish off the look. It’s proof that life without walls doesn’t mean sticking to only one aesthetic; Thahong’s space is fit for both Charles Eames and Marie Antoinette!"
...swoon...

If you live in a loft, open floor plan, or studio, book cases without a solid back allow light through but create a divider.

..a pretty corner...
Here's a few pics from a tribeca loft, also as seen in Loft Life magazine
What do you think of the curtain divider with artwork displayed on it like a wall?

More pics from my summer backpacking in Europe!
I had never seen mountains like this - movies and pics don't begin to convey the awe and beauty of Lauterbrunnen. Arriving in Switzerland after spending the past few weeks in Spain and Italy was like landing on another planet. We had some clouds but the scenery was still gorgeous.
cheese shacks! With Stauubach falls behind.
Fresh milk just a few hundred yards from our cabin
Staubbach falls
In Lauterbrunnen are 10 glacial falls accessible by lift. They are called Trümmelbach Falls

Thanks as always to my boyfriend Chris, who took these amazing photos.
I don't feature independent artists as much as I would like to. But there's no time like the present, and I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the talented Nicholas Bell from Knoxville, TN.
His work really speaks to me because of it's sense of peace, isolation, and connectedness to our natural surroundings. Check it out below:
I love the sense of quiet
These last two are my favorite - so beautiful
Pretty fantastic right?
Check out all of his work at his Etsy shop- Nicholas Bell Fine Art Photography.
This amazing makeover is the home of Lisa Ullmann, Executive Producer of The Ricky Gervais show. What started as an Echo Park "diamond in the rough," turned into a multifaceted top-quality gem. The interior design is by LA firm Jonamor Decor
Here are some before/after pics to show you the amazing transformation...
Entry after -- so chic!
The overall goal was to create a comfortable and relaxing environment that would reflect Lisa's many interests and styles and be welcoming for guests. Having a passion for travel, Lisa wanted to incorporate elements of some of her favorite places around the world that she had visited, specifically Italy, France and India. She wanted her home to be unique, elegant but also “user friendly”.
My favorite transformation - the living room
gorgeous - the jewel tones are really fresh
The dining room
The red is a bit too loud for me personally, but the room is still really intriguing, I like the wallpaper and the Moroccan lanterns
The master bedroom transformation
Many of the central pieces to each room were vintage or purchased at discount prices. Older furniture was re-painted and re-upholstered (a used Crate and Barrel desk painted black, an ottoman from a flea market covered in a funky Indian orange fabric). Lisa not only appreciated vintage items for their price and unique appearance, but felt that buying used items was a “greener” approach. Of all the newly purchased furniture, only the couch, a chair and a bench were “new” items.
What do you think of this home makeover?
God bless this woman. She convinced her husband to turn their master bedroom into a walk in closet, and the downstairs guest room became their master bedroom.
I'm jealous.
The desk is from ikea - the lamp a thrift find
She stores her jewelry in chef's pinch dishes
The only thing I would have is maybe a vanity in place of the desk
